Walmart is beginning to realize that their prices may not beat those of some competitors. With their new Savings Catcher Program, they are willing to accept the consequences in order to get your business. However, to get them to work to find you better prices so you can shop again with a coupon in hand, you need to enter the receipts first off. If all you have nearby is your iPhone, this article will be your great friend and will give you the information that you need.

Steps

Part 1

Preparation

1

Open the Walmart for iPhone app on your device.

2

Login to your account with your Walmart online credentials. Even if you just logged into your account the day before, Walmart wants you to log in to your account every single day.

3

Tap the "Savings Catcher" button.

4

Look at your receipt. You'll either find a barcode and QR code or just a barcode alone. This is all you'll really need to enter the receipts.

5

Tap the orange Scan a Receipt button. This will allow you to enter the receipts for retrieval of possible savings.

Part 2

Entering (Scanning)

Method One: By Barcode

1

Hold your iPhone's camera up to the barcode, so the barcode can be completely seen by the camera. If you'd like to type the barcode data instead, you may press the "Type receipt info instead" into the box and enter the information manually.

2

Verify that the scanned barcode data on the receipt matches what the device scanned. Press the Choose Date button.

3

Use the scroll wheels to select the date the receipt was printed on. Tap the Done button when finished.

Method Two: By QR code

1

Hold your iPhone's camera up to the QR code, so the code can be completely seen by the camera. Wait for a register ring sound to sound before pulling the device away from the receipt.

Part 3

Finishing Up

1

Verify the data was successfully entered and tap the Submit button when finished.

2

Tap the Done button on the top left corner, or the Scan Another button to repeat the process with a new receipt.

Walmart doesn't have their own Windows 8 smartphone official app at this time, and since there is no browser tool (outside of entering this information manually from the desktop-view of the page), it's doubtful that this idea will work at this time. Until they have one available, you can use this method: Enter Receipts for Walmart's Savings Center via the Walmart Website.

Contact Walmart. However, be advised that receipts from Walmart are only available for a limited amount of time to be entered into Savings Catcher. There might be a problem in the settings on your phone's setup that they should be able to resolve.

You can't duplicate your scans of the receipt. If you scan your receipts while you're in the store, don't attempt to scan them once you get home. Once you scan them the first time, they are saved indefinitely.
If you scan more than seven to ten receipts over a given period of time (of about a week ending on Sunday), you'll be blocked from scanning more receipts until Monday morning.

The QR code should be at the bottom of your Walmart receipt below the barcode and date line. If there is no QR code, there will definitely be a regular barcode and a date on the receipt that you can enter the opposite way as stated above. Remember, despite SamsClub being a sister store, they don't use Savings Catcher.

Tips

If the Savings Catcher finds lower prices, you'll be given the information that can lead you to a coupon which can be used at any Walmart store or at the Walmart online site.

The Savings Catcher uses a wealth of major stores including stores that may not even be in your area. Not all the stores listed could be in your area. Check to find local stores when using the app.

Have a printer available to print out the coupons. You'll need to present the coupon to a WalMart employee to receive the money or to receive a e-Gift card.

If you've used Walmart pay to pay for your order, don't despair. On the "success screen", you'll see a "Submit order" which is a button that will automatically send your receipt to Savings Catcher. Just because you don't have a printed receipt, doesn't mean Walmart hasn't thought about your problems too. You have the chance once you tap that button.

Warnings

Realize that few Walmart register clerks know how to ring them up, but the cashier instructions are on the emailed page containing the coupon barcode. They may end up requesting help, but it's there in black and white what they should do.

For the receipts to be processed through the Savings Catcher, the Walmart online site says that it could take 72 hours from entry for the receipt to be processed. Be patient! It could also take up to 24 from the time you request your coupon to the time the coupon is officially sent to you.

Although Walmart's Savings Catcher is good at finding lower prices than their competitors, if all the products on your list tend to be just Walmart-brand (Great Value) items, there's no point to send them to Savings Catcher, as no other stores will carry their brands. They don't compare their prices to their sister store, Sam's Club.

Also, the Walmart app won't let you scan in receipts for can and bottle redemption (when you've walked to the Customer Service and received only money back). Don't try to scan these as these won't ever go through completely.

You can't enter any more than 7 receipts per week, no matter if you entered part of them by their smartphone apps and part by PC, they won't allow you to enter more than 7. Their weeks start on a Monday and end on the following Sunday [1]
